I'm adding this wiki because Sandpiper and I were going to put together a list of links for new members, anticipating the influx of new people after the ABC piece airs. If anyone has links they want to add, go for it!! I'm goin to put the list as a sticky in the Introductions section.
Okay, this is what I have so far:
